    Going extremely lean at WOT

    I have a 15 viper with a MPI turbo and using the PCV PTI for fueling I also run a ignition module for raised rev limit. It runs fine the whole way though the rpm but once I put the flipper to the bar you can see AFR jumps to 17-19 from 11.7ish if at a dead stop if you pin it it would happen as...

    I recently installed a MPI stage 1 kit and I was wondering do anyone know how much pre load should be on the waste gate actuator? I had to lengthen the rod quite a bit to get it to reach. Thanks Jeff

    Anyone know TQ numbers with a mpi stage 1

    Hi guys do anyone know what kind of TQ numbers my viper should be making with the stage 1 on a trail kit at 5.5-6 psi with the race muffler/ ulmer header? I am also running the ulmer tuning on a PCV-pti not sure if that would count for a few foot pounds? Thanks Jeff

    Should I Turbo My Viper?

    Looking for some input on should I turbo my viper or not. Soon as the SideWinder came out I wanted to upgrade from my RTX-LE but I would take a major loss on the viper with only 2100km on it and a pile of money spent on power upgrades like: intake, header, muffler, clutching, and power...

I'm thinking about upgrading to a SideWinder RTX-LE and ill be doing a track upgrade, I have a Sno X on my viper now its a good track and really bites in the hard stuff but would a BCX2 do better for off trail in the deeper stuff?

    This is the first time I noticed a black mark around the top of my primary I have changed my tip weight recently to increase rpm and it worked and pulled like a champ then the weather changed and I was running in a lot of slush as I live on a 3 mile lake. Could this be related to the weight...
